Letter: Some kind of weird epidemic in Oregon?

This is not an opinion — it's a fact. According to a news release, there are 55,000 people in the state of Oregon with a "medical marijuana" card. Wow. That's an awful lot of ill people living there. And here I have always been under the impression that because of its fresh air and wholesome environment, it was a desirable and healthy place in which to live.

Sadly, since the state of Washington has legalized pot, now there is concern that it could become a source of pot for Oregon and Idaho.

Need I say that those are three states I would not visit and drive their roads with all those stoned drivers?
